An interesting question indeed, because as Jesus tells us in Matthew 12:40:
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The conundrum is left as an exercise to the reader.
He was crucified on the Wednesday of that week,the
start of their High Sabbath. Israel’s days ran from
evening to evening. 3 nights and 3 days are—
Wed evening to Thur evening, the 1st day,
Thur evening to Fri evening, the 2nd day
Fri evening to Sat evening, the 3rd day,
He arose from the tomb between Sat evening
and Early Sun Morning. During their first day
of their week. When the ladies
showed up wrap the body he was gone.
They couldn’t do it until then, due to the
High Sabbath days which ended Sat evening,
the start of their first day of the week..Ed
